Methodist Minister, Rev. Adam Averill, 1799, on possible Scottish Origin, of West Cork, Swanton family and reputed Scottish Plantation, Castlehaven/Skibbereen c 1690s, Andersons, Hamiltons.
It is interesting that the West Cork Somervilles, descend from a Rev. Somerville who fled to Ireland from persecution in Scotland c 1690 and may coincide if there was such a Plantation.
Re the names Hamilton may be Scottish or a corruption of an old Gaelic name.
The Swantons have a tradition of industry, hard work and dissent which some would say are Scottish virtues.
The Mrs. Hawes mentioned is the aunt of Judge Robert Swanton to whom I referred earlier in the week. She was Eleanor (Swanton) Hawes Swanton.
